PARIS. Oct. 1.—<A.P.)—Chances ire “three to one” that Prance will support a strong British stand against Italy, a British spokesman said tonight after important conferences among officials of the two countries, including the Prince of Wales.
Britain asked France: “Where will you stand if we get into a war with Italy?” The French cabinet [will meet Friday to deliver the for-|mal decision.
The British and French ap-
1 proached complete unity of front in talks between Premier Pierre Laval and British Ambassador Sir George Jlerk which were described as "vi-Jally important.”

The excitement of the student body could scarcely be restrained when, at 10:25, the official car, preceded by the sirens of the police escort, swung into the drive before Bovard, and the familiar, smiling faces of the president and Mrs. Roosevelt made them instantly recognizable.
Seated in the customary open automobile with Mayor Frank Shaw, the Roosevelts waved “hello” to the students until the machine pulled up before the flight of stairs where Dr. von KleinSmid and heads of the schools and colleges were
